Selective Hydrogenolysis

Stereoselective total synthesis of (±)-sinularene and (±)-5-epi-sinularene are described. The sequence employs a "blocked" cyclopentadiene in which the cyclopropane unit also serves as a latent methyl group. Thus intramolecular [4 + 2] cycloaddition of the substituted methyl spiro[2.4]hepta-4,6-dien-1-yl)-2-pentenoate 11 affords 5-benzyloxy-6-isopropyl-8-carbomethoxytetracyclo[5.4.01,7.02,4.02,9]undec-10-ene (12) which after selective hydrogenolysis generates the tricyclo[4.4.01,6.02,8]decane (sinularene) ring system. Removal of the secondary hydroxyl function (Ph3P/CCl4/CH3CN; H2/Pd/C), reduction of the methyl ester (LiAlH4), and introduction of the exocyclic double bond (acetate pyrolysis, 550 °C) completes the synthesis of (±)-sinularene in 14 steps from cyclopentadiene. A parallel series of reactions employing the isopropyl epimer of 12 affords (±)-5-epi-sinularene.

Abstract Diels-Alder and ene reactions of germaethene Me2Ge=C(SiMe3)2 (2) with butadienes respectively, take place regioselectively, as well as stereoselectively. They are accelerated by an increasing tendency of substituents in butadiene or propene to donate electrons (e.g. 2-methylbutadiene > butadiene; 2-methylpropene > propene), and retarded by an increasing bulkyness of substituents in 1,4- or 1,3-positions (e.g. 1-methylbutadiene > 2-methylbutadiene; 1-vinylpropene > propene). It is concluded from these studies that Diels-Alder and ene reactions of 2 occur - like those of Me2Si=C(SiMe3)2 (1) or of ethenes >C=C< - in a concerted way and are HOMOdiene-LUMOdienophile and HOMOene-LUMOenophile controlled. Thus 2 and 1 behave as carbon analogues. With regard to a specific diene or ene (e.g. anthracene; toluene), 2 is the better dienophile or enophile than 1 or ethenes. With a fixed diene/ene mixture (e.g. butadiene/propene), 2 acts as the better dienophile, while 1 is the better enophile. These results can be explained by the π/π*- energy difference and the double bond polarity decreasing in the direction 1 > 2. Only cis-piperylene gives a [2+2] cycloadduct with 2. besides two [4+2] cycloadducts, and an ene reaction product

Key Steps

Furfural is converted to suitably substituted AB synthon 21 for 12a-deoxypillaromycinone in 10 steps by a sequence involving the following key steps: intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction of a furan, 5-endo-trig cleavage of the oxabicyclo adducts 18, and catalytic hydrogenation of the double bond of a tetrasubstituted enone to produce 19. Enones 21a and 21b obtained by dehydrogenation of 19a and 19b, respectively, are then annulated with ethyl 2-methoxy-6-methylbenzoate in a four-step procedure to generate tetracyclic products 25 in 14 steps from furfural.
